Dirty Duet #1-2
The Dirty Duet
Both books in the Dirty Duet included in one bundle.
From NYT Bestselling author Laurelin Paige, discover a whole new world filled with sex, love, power, romance and dirty, filthy rich men.
Book One, Dirty Filthy Rich Men
When I met Donovan Kincaid, I knew he was rich. I didn’t know he was filthy. Truth be told, I was only trying to get his best friend to notice me.
I knew poor scholarship girls like me didn't stand a chance against guys like Weston King and Donovan Kincaid, but I was in love with his world, their world, of parties and sex and power. I knew what I wanted—I knew who I wanted—until one night, their world tried to bite me back and Donovan saved me. He saved me, and then Weston finally noticed me, and I finally learned what it was to be in their world.
And then what it was like to lose it.
Ten years later, I’ve found my way back. Back to their world. Back to him.
This time, I’m ready. I've been down this road before, and I know all the dirty, filthy ways Donovan will try and wreck me.
But it’s hard to resist. Especially when I know how much I’ll like it.
Book Two, Dirty Filthy Rich Love
I've discovered Donovan Kincaid's secret.
It's dirty and filthy and rich - as dirty and filthy and rich as he is - and it haunts me as much as he ever did.
Even after knowing what I know now, I still want to talk to him, to touch him. But there's an ocean between us, and I'm not sure it can be crossed with something as easy as a phone call or a plane ride.
Yet I'm willing to try.
He doesn't know this yet, but this time I'm the one with the power. And maybe - just maybe - if the air were cleared and all our secrets bared, there could still be a chance for us.
And this dirty, filthy thing between us might end up being love after all.

Man did I love this series. I devoured these books in less than two days. Once I read the prequel, I had to buy the Two that followed it. I loved the intricate plot and relationship that LP built. I loved the angst and tension that blossomed between Donovan and Sabrina. I can’t wait to read more books in the Dirty series but I also can’t wait to reread these books as well.

A well written, smoking hot and totally addictive story! 4 solid stars!

Great Duet by Laurelin Paige. Sabrina & Donovan's story was full of turmoil & angst. The sex scenes were smoking hot. Elena Wolfe did an awesome job narrating both books! And the epilogues with Sebastian York were a nice bonus.

Donovan Kincaid Tops Every Alpha that Came Before ;)
*note: Donovan is my fave alpha book hero (he's not an asshole who gets woke. He is just amazing. Read this book. This is my review from the first book. I added it here for the duet page because every romance reader NEEDS a Donovan on their Hall of Fame Shelf. Grrr I legit love this story. I had no ARC, no obligation to read it, and yet... I FLURV it!
Boss Alpha Donovan Kincaid steals every last thing in this tour de force erotic romance that pulses and grinds deep into the edges of the most taboo and forbidden fantasies. And I craved every word.
I should be embarrassed by how many times I've read this book. And yet, there is only one Donovan and thank god for Laurelin Paige for conjuring this devil in a three piece suit to tempt me.
DFRM is a carnal, angst-fueled trip from its stolen “first love” moments to the aching maw of its lost soulmates.
Read on if you want more of my massive fangirling. Otherwise, go buy the book now. It’s brilliant. Dirty Filthy Rich Men is the standard by which all contemporary erotic romance should be measured.
Donovan is a masterpiece. He’s FlockHot, and deserves every moniker his friends and foes give him. He’s an intellectual, and a brutally gifted business man. He’s sexual and sly, but his complex ways make him distant and in your face at the same time. You can hardly blame him, ten years passed between his first dirty filthy encounter and Sabrina’s surprising reappearance in his life, in the leather bound walls of his high rise offices. His soul-baring revelations at the crescendo of this story will strip you down. He's amazing.
I don’t know if I prefer his devilish ways, or the epically sinful barbs and filthy demands that pour out of his mouth. He is a filthy sexy beast. And I love him! He is such a force, and so well drawn that the plot moves solely because of him. His chess moves are matched only by his mysterious intentions, as evidenced by his seemingly equal disdain and desire for Sabrina.
Sabrina is ambitious, carnal and sexy as the best modern heroines are. But she has her own appetites that need satisfied. With a tragic backstory and a razor wit, she soars in this story, never settling and pushing everyone limits. She takes a great career and morphs it into the life she always wanted.
Donovan destroyed my sleep for weeks. Part of me will probably never recover from that first read. And I admit I’m jealous of those who are just discovering this delicious story.
DFRM is unputdownable, risqué and completely out of any known normal boundaries. The sex? Intoxicating and forbidden. Every time they are together, you’ll question yourself—“wait I want this?” Hell yes you do. God, you want more from Donovan, so much more.
Buy this book. She is just showing off with her storytelling talents and her trademark vivid set pieces. The real scene stealer here is Donovan, an exquisite creation from the clever filthy romantic brain that is Laurelin Paige.
And she made me a romance reader. I have never looked back. She is a blessing. And that sharpie!!!!
—A small narrative note is how cleverly Paige stages the romance in so many sleek seductive restaurants. From Hudson’s Sky Launch to Gaston’s to Okasu to Red Farm. Even the take out, what a scene.

Dirty Filthy Rich Men (Dirty Duet #1):
Donovan FUCKING Kincaid!! **fucking swoon**
Ya'll ... okay, so this story ... these people ... I don't even know the word for this LOL It's addictive for sure. It's an #eyetwitch kind of story of the greatest proportions. You will not be able to stop reading, even thru all the back and forth whiplash. I have read some seriously good duets in the past but this book just surpasses all kinds of level of good. When I finished reading I was stunned stupid, just starring at my kindle blinking. I wanted to go back and read it again but I don't think my anxiety would have withheld!
Dirty Filthy Rich Men has two parts to it: The first is where we meet Weston, Donovan and Sabrina in their college years during a life altering incident. It then picks up 10 years later .... They're all grow up now, but that incident has left some scars ... not a lot of story happens in this book, but it does set you up to know the story is coming ... (that might make better sense if you read this lol) and THAT'S what keeps you glued to your kindle.
You're gonna hate to love Donovan. There's no question on that. But you will love him. You won't be able to help yourself. #TRUST
Dirty Filthy Rich Love (Dirty Duet, #2):
Donovan #fucking Kincade, indeed!!! Brilliant people ... just fucking brilliant!
Two things ......
1. This love story between Donovan and Sabrina is ridiculously phenomenal. Pay attention. Keep an open mind and you will understand and feel why it rivals some of the greatest love stories in history!
2. As far as duets go .... well done Laurelin Paige. The story forked exactly where it needed to in order to keep readers one foot off the cliff, kicking and screaming for more ... well, fucking done! I myself wanted to send her hate mail after book 1 ended LOL
Let's talk about the writing for a second because I'm not going to tell you anything about this journey at all. THAT you have to experience with a blank slate and no prejudice. This story will make your nerve ending tingle. The hair in the back of your neck will stand. Why? Because honestly, this story was unpredictable. I want to tell you that I saw it coming, but I really didn't. It's not that the love affair/HEA was a shock, no, it's how everyone gets there that was a completely new world for me. I read a lot of books. I'm reading ALL the time. It takes a lot to shock me. I was shocked. And I was deliciously impressed. And for that alone, EVERYONE SHOULD JUST ONE CLICK. DO IT RIGHT NOW!
I've read this entire duet twice now and on the second go around I found new turns/twists that I missed the first time so read this carefully. Savor it. Enjoy it. This story is not a dime a dozen story. It is unique and just so well written, and I can't stop singing its praises! Get to reading kids, I promise you won't regret it!

I .... I don't.... i really don't know how to write this.
This book has control, stalking, manipulation, CNC, primal, J/P, surveillance...
Is it good? Yeah it is ... is something i'm gonna reread? Nope.
Interesting dealing with trauma.
Why it lost one star? Thinking of girl with all the CNC stuff just wanted to headdesk all the time.

I really wanted to like this, but I struggled after I was well past 50% of the book. I hated that Sabrina was a doormat for Donovan, who had the lamest excuse in the world to be obsessed about her, and I didn't even understand why he did love her because he never explained it! I need real romance and no bad written smut scenes, and I'm not judging her or his fantasies, but the way they jumped into the love wagon was rushed and unbelievable considering his former fianceé died and he felt guilty about it... and of course, she was thrilled and so ready to forgive him after he treated her like trash just because it was him and he had dirty sex with her wherever, and he stalked her because he loved her... ugh!
Anyway, maybe I need to read Kincaid to get it, or maybe I need to move on...

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Couple: Donovan & Sabrina
********
The Dirty Duet was a fun ride, and kept me entertained. I wasn't really sure which way things were going and was surprised with some of the events that happened. Sabrina was a fun FMC but did get a little annoying at times. Donovan on the other hand was a grade A Alpha-hole and it took me some time, but like Sabrina how could you not fall for him madly. The storyline of the book was okay and it played out over a very short distance of time. I did enjoy the chemistry between the two, and their dirty ways were very hot and steamy. I can't wait to read Kincaid and get into Donovans head.

4.5⭐️ 3🌶️
I am now completely owned by Donovan Kincaid 😍😍
Audiobook Review:
I’m blown away. Literally blown away. The absolute rollercoaster of emotions that I felt during the entirety of this duet.. insane. Such highs and lows and through all of it, I was always still rooting for Donovan and Sabrina. My heart was so broken at different times for both characters, and the trauma that they both had to go through at different times in their lives. I won’t be forgetting this duet anytime soon. I won’t be forgetting Donovan Kincaid anytime soon. This man… is the epitome of J/P. 😍
I don’t usually go for books with single narration, but Elena Wolfe did such a fantastic job of bringing this duet to life. I’m now a fan of hers and will definitely be listening to more audiobooks narrated by her.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEE, GIVE THIS DUET A SHOT AS IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
Check your triggers, as always. 🥰

Oh my goodness! This duet was amazing! So many ups and downs, twists and turns in the beautiful but somewhat unusual love story of Donovan and Sabrina. Beautifully written. Looking forward to the next duet!

Unconditional Love
Love doesn’t always appear as it’s made out to be. Pretty hearts and sweet innocence. No, sometimes love it dark and damaged pieces that form a broken heart. A heart that loves fiercely and with out boundaries. Which kind of love do you need?

August 17, 2023I tried! Gosh did I try but by 37% i just felt Sabrina was a doormat for Donovan and that just irritated me
February 9, 2023
This duet took me on an intense and thrilling ride. Donovan is a character that you love to hate and hate to love. He isn’t your typical billionaire alpha but so much more complex and dominating. Sabrina is such a strong heroine, intelligent and yet there were times I just wanted to knock her upside the head. She rationalized a lot and has such an understanding when it comes to Donovan. I adored that about her. She was probably the only one who truly understood his complexity and loved him despite his way of love. The chemistry between Sabrina and Donovan is explosive and there really is no other way to describe how much he truly loves her. The author has such a way with her words that leave a lasting impression, leaving me with unforgettable characters whose story will stay with me for a long time.
Audio:
Elena Wolfe is a new to me narrator. I think she is a fantastic performer and brought Sabrina’s character to life. This duet provided me with some eargasm goodness. It was intense and thrilling. I loved every second!

A unique, hard to describe love
Dirty Filthy Rich Men
The story of Sabrina, Weston, and Donovan continues 10 years later. From Sabrina’s point of view she is still crushing on the man she never had and lusting after the man she did have for a moment. Events bring them together. Sabrina’s world is turned in all sorts of directions in this book. Does she want the crush, the safe guy? Or does she want the walled off fantasy man? A hot emotional roller coaster. Well written. Hard to put down.
Dirty Filthy Rich Love
Sabrina and Donovan continue after a heart wrenching ending in Dirty Filthy Rich Men. Their love and attraction is so different from any other story. You want to hate Donovan at times but just like Sabrina, you can’t. More is discovered about their pasts and how it got them to the present. Well written. Great supporting characters (can’t wait to read their stories). And an ending unlike any other.

Quantity: 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Quality: 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Characters: Donovan was horribly underdeveloped. I’m alllll for a tortured soul / asshole, but he didn’t have any endearing qualities, which made it really hard to connect with him. We’re just supposed to accept that Sabrina loves him, but WHY does she love him?? They haven’t even had a conversation. Like Sabrina literally admits that she doesn’t know what to talk to him about during thanksgiving. So where did the love come from??
Again, I love a possessive asshole. But the author never shows you that Sabrina and Donovan love each other. They tell you that Donovan has loved her for 10 years, but that isn’t love, that’s infatuation. Love is when you actually KNOW a person, and neither of them really know anything about the other personally.
I was really hoping to like this because I’m a fan of Laurelin Paige, but it just didn’t do it for me.

amazing series
Dirty Filthy Rich Boys : Novella prequel
We get introduced to Donavan Kincaid and Sabrina Lind. Donavan give off the mysterious vibe. They are both in college. She grew up on the wrong side of the tracks but she was fascinated with their world and his best friend Weston. She wanted to experience the life of the rich boys. She wants sex, power, and romance. She wants to feel included, until an unfortunate event happens and it changes her completely. She’s broken, but Donavan is always in the background coming to her rescue like a dark fallen Angel. But she never questioned why. She’s to blind to see, to see him for who he is.
Book ends in cliffhanger, but it made me want to keep reading it.
Dirty Filthy Rich Men :
We catch up with Weston, Sabrina and Donavan. 10 years have passed and she’s Unintentionally thrusted back into their world. A world of power, sex, deception, lies, darkness, and evil. But, also love, light, grit and fight. This story is raw, sexy, thrilling, provocative and twisted. An unexpected work place romance, and Sabrina was back in Donavan’s radar. He could always anticipate what she needed, always one step ahead. He was elusive, secretive and mysterious. She was drawn to him like a magnet. They both pinned over each other in silence. They were both still broken complex characters. she was running towards commitment and he was running away to Paris not wanting the person he loved to get hurt because of him. The book ends in a cliff hanger but the plot twist at the end of this book has got me hooked.
Dirty Filthy Rich Love
Oh this third book starts off with a bang. Donavan was secretive, didn’t allow his walls to come down. He had fallen in love. His love was primal, possessive, sinful, decadent. Even with all the barricades, secrets, lies, Sabrina wanted more with Donavan. He was a dark Angel. Sabrina struggled with the past. It brought back all her insecurities. They saw each other for who they were. He saw through her, through her dark secrets. His dark secrets also held him back. Getting him to a place of love and acceptance was going to be the trick.
This whole series was angsty, sexy, sassy and a rollercoaster of emotions. I loved listening to all three as a audiobook. The emotions Elena Wolfe narrated kept me engaged and I couldn’t stop listening! Great book series. Will definitely be reading the rest.

She wants to feel included, until an unfortunate event happens and it changes her completely. She’s broken, but Donavan is always in the background coming to her rescue like a dark fallen Angel. But she never questioned why. She’s to blind to see, to see him for who he is.
Book ends in cliffhanger, but it made me want to keep reading it.
Dirty Filthy Rich Men :
We catch up with Weston, Sabrina and Donavan. 10 years have passed and she’s Unintentionally thrusted back into their world. A world of power, sex, deception, lies, darkness, and evil. But, also love, light, grit and fight. This story is raw, sexy, thrilling, provocative and twisted. An unexpected work place romance, and Sabrina was back in Donavan’s radar. He could always anticipate what she needed, always one step ahead. He was elusive, secretive and mysterious. She was drawn to him like a magnet. They both pinned over each other in silence. They were both still broken complex characters. she was running towards commitment and he was running away to Paris not wanting the person he loved to get hurt because of him. The book ends in a cliff hanger but the plot twist at the end of this book has got me hooked.
Dirty Filthy Rich Love
Oh this third book starts off with a bang. Donavan was secretive, didn’t allow his walls to come down. He had fallen in love. His love was primal, possessive, sinful, decadent. Even with all the barricades, secrets, lies, Sabrina wanted more with Donavan. He was a dark Angel. Sabrina struggled with the past. It brought back all her insecurities. They saw each other for who they were. He saw through her, through her dark secrets. His dark secrets also held him back. Getting him to a place of love and acceptance was going to be the trick.
This whole series was angsty, sexy, sassy and a rollercoaster of emotions. I loved listening to all three as a audiobook. The emotions Elena Wolfe narrated kept me engaged and I couldn’t stop listening! Great book series. Will definitely be reading the rest.

Not gonna lie, I wanted to jump into this duet and smack some sense into Donovan 😅 SHE WANTS YOU!! But everything is fine. Everyone is fine. I can breathe and I've calmed down lmao
Donovan and Sabrina met in college. She was 17 and he, 22. They were teacher's aid and student. Sabrina, though, she wasn't originally interested in him. Weston is who she has laid her eyes on - another student in the class and Donovan's friend. Weston was everything she wanted to escape her own life. Good looking and rich.
Her attention is soon changed to Donovan when he saves her from being sexually assaulted. She begins to see him as her hero and her thoughts are filled with him... in more ways than one. Weston is now back thought but he begins to notice her. This conflicts Sabrina because now she doesn't know who she wants and has to make her decision. Ultimately, Donovan makes it for her - he pushes her towards Weston.
Even 10 years later, after leaving Havard because of a family emergency, Sabrina is still pining after Donovan. With the help of a friend, she's reunited with Weston. Now she finds out what could have been with him. Although she believes she could have a life with him, things change when Sabrina gets offered a new job at Weston's company - 3 months after their hookup - and Donovan comes back. With this the revelation that Weston is engaged to someone else for business and Donovan holding secrets of his own.

Having picked up Ms.Paige's work many times before i always look forward to getting into more of her stories! I've been wanting to get back into this duet for quite some time now, so when i found out about this audiobook i knew it was the perfect way to do so! I started listening and got right into the Dirty Universe world! I so enjoyed this listen / duet!
Being new to Elena Wolfe, i couldn't wait to listen to her! Right from the start she captured my attention with her voice. I thoroughly enjoyed what she brought to this story as Sabrina. Through her narration Elena captured the real, the heat, the unexpected, and every bit in-between in this duet. I can't wait to listen to more of her narrating in the near future!
Sabrina's journey takes place over the course of two books. Hers isn't an easy one. Moments in your life can shake up your world, something Sabrina knows all too well. As her path brings her into Donovan and Weston's lives and their paths keep crossing, which way will Sabrina's heart lead her?
Going into this audiobook for this duet, i didn't know what all to expect. I really liked how quickly i was pulled in by the narration and Sabrina. Both Sabrina and Donovan had been through things in their lives and i enjoyed the realness that it brought to the these two and their story. I felt for Sabrina. Both Sabrina and Donovan had me going through such a range of emotions from start to finish with this listen! From the undeniable chemistry to the emotions, I so enjoyed this duet!
With The Dirty Duet, Ms.Paige has created such a good and dark duet that had me feeling so dang much throughout! From Elena's narration to the story, this was such a good listen! I am so looking forward to checking out more of Ms.Paige's audiobooks!

Sabrina's like a sheep among all the wolves at Harvard, surrounded by the rich, privileged students. She's got a crush on a particular guy, Weston, but he doesn't notice her. Until he does. But there's someone else who has noticed her all along, and he just may be her savior when she needs him most. Or he could be her downfall.
Donovan is a damaged guy. Since suffering a huge loss, he's never allowed himself to love. But when a student captures his attention, he keeps track of her, FROM AFAR. But allowing himself to intervene once means now he'll never be able to get her out of his mind. And this could be his downfall. She could be his downfall...
Oh dang but I was not expecting Donovan and Sabrina's story to start like this. This couple is just so messed up, individually, and even more so when together. I am not sure still if I particularly like either of them, but I could not stop reading their story. It's full of intensity - intense physical longing and connection, intense fascination, and intense love. Now I'm eagerly awaiting Kincaid, Donovan's POV and the third installment of this couple's epic, twisty journey.

I'm not usually a dark romance reader, and I didn't know this is what that was going in. But the story hooked me so I kept going.
An attempted rape leaves Sabrina a bit traumatised, however her way of dealing with it is to imagine her attacker as someone she wants - Donavan Kincaid. But talk about damaged heros.
He takes her virginity under the guise of her getting a better grade and then her father dies.
Donavan is more than just damaged and kinky. His way of showing love is to basically stalk and control. His tendencies resulted in the death of his first fiancée.
Fast forward 10 years after Sabrina lost her scholarship to Harvard and she has a chance to meet her college crush - Weston King. So they get together, and 3 months later he offers her a job, and Donavan is back from Tokyo.
Their relationship is not one I understand, but as long as all parties are consensual, who am I to say what is right or wrong. However, rape fantasies are jot my cup of tea. If I had been Sabrina I would have run more than a mile, especially when he kept treating her like trash.
But they eventually come to a middle ground (after Donavan runs away -again- to France then comes back) after going through his stalker file. Turns out Sabrina likes his brand of love.
But it nearly all unravels when her attacker comes back and tries again. This is right after Sabrina has discovered Donavan is why she never got her scholarship back (spoiler - it was all about him, even though he said it was about her).
After the attack, Donavan does another duck... Surprise. But then he does surprise us all when he comes to Sabrina and finally opens up about how he feels - she was supposed to save him, not the other way around.
9 months later and HEA - he pretty much arranges their wedding as a surprise, but she loves it.

Really liked this series just like the Fixed trilogy.
The taboo element played out differently in the different stages of life and it was thrilling. There were some times when I found our female lead, Sabrina too malleable and our male lead Donovan too omniscient (which makes sense later on) which was a turn off but whatever works for them I guess. I think the most enjoyable part of this duet was reading their journey as a couple, from strangers to almost friends then to enemies/strangers to lovers. There really was some disturbing stuff going on there. Otherwise, I could see the growth of the characters individually and together. Especially for Donovan, I was impressed with the trajectory o his obsession.
Also one communication point I really liked when Weston and Sabrina admitted their respective dalliances to each other? Whew that was good. I was thankful because that is one obstacle done and there would not be any unnecessary beating around the bush and imagined love triangles or squares because they have already established their own romantic interests. Thank you Laurelin for that because that bit would draw the story out in a bad way.
The part about Donovan hoping against hope that Sabrina would be his saviour was quite enlightening. The start where he did not rush in to help when Sabrina was in dangerous situation was a twisted revelation but this does puts a spin on things in hindsight. It does not whatsoever morally excuse Donovan's behaviour but I guess the hate is not misplaced.
And then when Sabrina emphasised "I guess I thought we could save each other." Now that was gorgeous.
Favourite lines-
h: "You love me."
H: "I do." (nothing much but I did swoon over that because they were so steadfast and sure of themselves)
This one where Donovan wanted to lie
"The only wrong answer is an untrue one."
Cannot wait for the Donovan's point of view in the unreleased Kincaid!

If ever a series of books lived up to their title, it’s Laurelin’s Dirty Duet!
Donovan Kincaid is the epitome of dirty and filthy. He's the biggest alphahole of them all. Stubborn and determined to keep Sabrina at a distance...on an emotional level anyway.
"I know, girl. I knoooow! I'd be stupid too!!" I can't even hate Sabrina for being all stupid when it comes to Donovan. The man just has a way about him that makes you want to fall at his feet and have him do all the nasty, filthy things to you! Then he starts acting like a dick and you want to kick him in the nads, even though you still love him!
These books are just so damn good. You're hot and bothered and frustrated all at the same time. And this is just while you're reading the first book...until you get to the end, then Donovan goes and breaks your heart, as well as Sabrina's...but you're still left with a flicker of hope.
Things get more intense between them in the second book, as if they weren't tense enough. Sabrina finds out that Donovan has been keeping secrets. Ones that have her questioning everything she thought she knew about him.
Then, just when things are going well between them, a nightmare from the past comes back to haunt Sabrina and Donovan blames himself. Once again their relationship is on the line. Will it be the final straw for Sabrina? Or will their bond be enough to forge them back together?
Thank goodness for HEAs!!
Donovan and Sabrina are my favorite Dirty Universe couple, but I love them all!! If you haven't read it, then you're missing out!
This is a re-read for me. Just never got around the writing a review! I loved it, even more, the second time around!

Holy Moly! I don't even know where to start with this one. Correction: I don't know where to start without spoilers. This duet is a rollercoaster ride from start to finish. Seriously, a rollercoaster ride, including all those ups and downs and twists and turns that make your stomach flip flop. I read a lot, and I read several genres, and I've gotten pretty good at predicting the next move... Until The Dirty Duet. I can't believe I'm saying this, but Laurelin Paige totally messed with my mind - and I loved it! As shocking as parts of this journey are (and it is most definitely a journey), as dark as some things are, and as many times as I wanted to punch Donovan Kincaid right in the kisser, I could not hit pause on this one. I couldn't stop listening. Speaking of Donovan, I'm not sure whether the number of times I loved him outweighs the number of times I hated him or not, but I'd guess that it's pretty close either way. That's as close as I'm getting to giving anything away because this is a journey you need to take without details.
I had the pleasure of listening to The Dirty Duet, and Elena Wolfe gives a superb performance. She captured the many emotions perfectly, and I can't imagine anyone else as Sabrina. Oh, and I can't forget Sebastian York, who makes an appearance or two. His sexy voice fits Donovan to a T.
There are some trigger warnings associated with this book, so check those before diving in. That said, if the triggers aren't a problem, you really need to experience this story. It's a story of obsession, protection, attraction, love, hate, and even a bit of hope. As dark as it gets, there's still hope.

First off, Elena Wolfe is one of my favorite narrators to listen to, especially when it’s one POV and there is no dual or duet option. She is a master at differing inflections and she makes it so easy to forget she is just one person. Her voice is beautiful and I could listen to her for hours (which is perfect when listening to this duet as it’s over 17 hours).
I read this duet several years ago but this is the first time listening to either book on audio. Book one of this duet is absolute fire. It’s super spicy and the angst is strong. It starts off with a love triangle vibe but quickly switches gears when it becomes obvious who Sabrina truly wants. Donovan is such a broody MMC and tries hard to stay away but the chemistry between these two is off the charts and easy to feel through the entire first book. I would have easily given this 5 stars across the board for book one alone.
The second book had an entire different feel to it. It felt a little like a long epilogue and was slightly drawn out. I found myself drifting mentally during the last half. I didn’t lose interest totally but would have preferred more of the angst and drama from the first book to keep up with the flow of the story.
Overall, it was a good listen and I would recommend it to fans who like their spicy scenes on the darker side.

Last year Dirty Sexy Player hit my top 10 listens for the year. I loved Weston and Elizabeth’s story so when I found the Dirty Duet audio on sale I snitched that baby up real quick. This is Donovan and Sabrina’s story read by audio royalty Elena Wolfe with Sebastian York reading the epilogues. Elena is as always impressive in expressing the emotions of Sabrina. I don’t think I’ve listened to a book that she’s read that I haven’t liked.
Donovan is a much darker soul than Weston and Sabrina is haunted by a past that she turns into fantasy to chase away the nightmares. The twisted desires they have make for explosive, filthy s*x. Like fan myself and need a little private time, hot, if you know what I mean. There was just enough push and pull between the two to keep me wanting more. Donovan’s love for Sabrina is all consuming and at times suffocating but Sabrina needed him. Eventually realising she needed him as he was, without conditions. This was a steamy AF read and once again Laurelin adds twists and turns and the odd sucker punch to keep you interested and turning those pages. She took this one down to dark, filthiness and I loved it all. The emotional pull between these characters is magnetic and I came out of these books fully expecting the book hangover.

Donovan and Sabrina are an unexpected mix, and they certainly bring a lot of steam to their story!
The first book starts with Sabrina starting college with a crush on Weston, who happens to be friends with Donovan. However, there's just something about Donovan that called to her, and maybe it's the depraved and dirty part of him that seems to match Sabrina too.
While the first book gives you some insight into how much Donovan wanted Sabrina, the second one gives you even more info into the extent to which he involved himself in her life, even when he wasn't physically there. Donovan is obsessed with Sabrina, and even though time separates them, he is all about bringing her back into the fold and into his life. Some people may not agree with what he's done, as he's manipulated Sabrina for a large portion of her adult life. This is definitely the focus of the story, and Sabrina has to decide whether she can trust in Donovan and believe in the love he has for her, or if this is something that she even wants. Lots of steam, secrets, and more obsession in this book between our two characters.
Elena Wolfe is a new to me narrator, but I loved how she brought Sabrina to life. It made the audio easy to listen to and very enjoyable.

Definitely worth the read
This was amazing. I loved every moment of it. I didn't know what to excepted when I started this one but I definitely couldn't stop once I started.
I love Sabrina she worked through so many obstacles to get what she wanted. She had a lot thrown at her from the beginning. She definitely grew through the story, she went from that innocent girl at college to fighting for what she wanted.
Please check the CW before reading there is a lot of this book about a topic that might be upsetting for some.
Donovan is the guy you are going to dislike from the beginning and probably through out the entire book but he has this thing about him you just can't help but root for. He definitely has aspects of his personality that are questionable but I still couldn't help but hope he was able to win Sabrina over.
This has some very different ideas of how to love someone so go in knowing it is not your typical love story. It starts from a difficult situation and it grows from that situation. But I do recommend it if you are okay with the CW
This was amazing. I loved every moment of it. I didn't know what to excepted when I started this one but I definitely couldn't stop once I started.
I love Sabrina she worked through so many obstacles to get what she wanted. She had a lot thrown at her from the beginning. She definitely grew through the story, she went from that innocent girl at college to fighting for what she wanted.
